ART 218 Experimental Drawing
In recent years contemporary artists have pushed at the boundaries of what drawing is, using innovative materials and ideas to create finished works of art. Students in this course will explore the multiple experimental approaches to drawing in a wide range of media pushing at the boundaries of what drawing can be. While some projects will use traditional media in experimental ways, others will explore innovative uses of technology, non-traditional media and non-traditional surfaces. Most class time will be dedicated to studio work, though there will also be lectures, demos and field trips related to the topic. The class is open to all levels; it will act as an introductory course for some, while advanced students will have the opportunity to push their practice further. This course is an alternative core requirement for studio art majors and can be taken at the 300-level with permission of the instructor to fulfill the intermediate level in drawing sequence for students concentrating in drawing. Suitable for majors and non-majors.
